  2. ^ 34.4C recorded 1 day later is possibly incorrect.
  3. ^ a b c Monthly Weather Summary Special Issue, Caribbean Meteorological Institute, NOAA Central Library, Climate Data Imaging Project. Retrieved 20 May 2007. These readings might be not fully reliable. 15.6C claimed in November 1925 is a wrong data.The same reading on 11 November 1913 is suspicious. 15.5C recorded at the V.C. Bird International Airport in January 1992 is also unreliable. 15.4C recorded at Freetown on 4 February 2016 is probably unreliable.
  4. ^ 35.0C might have been recorded at Codrington,Barbuda, but this hasn't been confirmed. 35.0C at St John's Botanic Gardens in June 1935 is incorrect.
  5. ^ 1.7C recorded on the same day at West End is probably unreliable.
  6. ^ Climate Explorer, The Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI).Temperatures as high as 37.0C on June 2006 at Georgetown ,Exuma Island are believed to be unreliable. A temperature of 36.7C recorded at Nassau on 25 June 1898 is believed to have been affected by overexposure and it is not been considered official. Higher temperatures recorded in early XIX century in Nassau (as high as 110F) and prior to 1970 in other stations were likely affected by overexposure.
  7. ^ Monthly Weather Summary, 1980, Caribbean Meteorological Institute, NOAA Central Library, Climate Data Imaging Project. Retrieved 26 January 2007. This temperature is dubious. 15.0C was also recorded at Waterford in the period 1958-1966.

  9. ^ Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve, Ambergris Caye Belize. Retrieved 26 January 2007. 3.3C claimed at Punta Gorda is absolutely unreliable.Lowest temperature recorded in a inhabited place is 5.6C at Augustine.
  10. ^ Monthly Weather Summary, Caribbean Meteorological Institute, NOAA Central Library, Climate Data Imaging Project. Retrieved 26 January 2007. A temperature of 44.0C at the same location in 2011,a 43.3C claimed at Belmopan in May 1976 and a 42.8C at Sibun Hill should regarded as likely incorrect.
  11. ^ Ian Currie and Brian Kolts, Bermuda Weather. This temperature was recorded on the top of the hill of St George Island. Minimum temperatures in Bermuda recorded before 1894 are unreliable,although 3.1C at Prospect Hill in January 1874 ,when few flakes of snow fell,might be not too incorrect.
  12. ^ What—Where—When of Bermuda, Made in Atlantis. Retrieved 3 May 2008.
  13. ^ The same reading was also recorded on 16 August 1875,although that is considered unofficial,since a proper screen wasn't installed at that time.
  14. ^ Paraquita Bay has also recorded 16.7C in prior occasions in 1911 and 1930,but old data at the previous station is mostly unreliable.
  15. ^ a b Canadian Weather Records, Dan Dan the Weatherman. Retrieved 4 February 2007. The original reading of -62.8C was later corrected to -63.0C.
  16. ^ An unofficial reading of -77.5C has been recorded on the top of Mount Logan ,but it may be unreliable. Unofficial readings as low as -71.1C have been recorded in British Columbia near Fort Nelson in January 1982.
  17. ^ 11.1C was also wrongly reported in September 1965 at Georgetown, if the reading is correct, it was recorded in March.
  18. ^ A 36.5°C reported from the same location is likely to be a typo error. Possible reliable temperatures as high as 36.3C in August 2016 have been recorded in automated private stations in Georgetown.
  19. ^ Temperatures as low as -9.4C claimed on Mount Chirripò, Cerro a la Muerte and Volcan Poas were taken under not proper conditions. In inhabited places,temperatures as low as -3C have been reported at Villa Mills.
  20. ^ Temperatures of 43.0C and 42.3C recorded at Puntarenas in February and March 1964 and of 44.0C at Parrita were taken in a period of time during which these stations weren't working properly.Higher temperatures, specifically the 42.0C at Canas on 26 April 1952 were taken with not proper exposure conditions.

  22. ^ 0.0C reported at Batabano was probably recorded under not proper exposure conditions. Lower temperatures where probably recorded during the XIX century, when freezing was recorded in occasions in the inland parts of the Havana province.

  24. ^ A temperature of -1.0C recorded in the same place on 6 February 1958 could be an error as the daily observations show a minimum of +1.0C that day.Also, some sources report a different date of the January 1956 occurrence,but the correct date is believed to be the day 14th.The same temperature is also reported at Constanza on 30 December 1938,albeit there are doubts about the conditions of the exposure of the station at that time. A temperature of -8°C has been reported at high elevation on Pico Duarte. Unofficial temperatures as low as -9C has been reported from Las Piramides, a site at high elevation in the Valle Nuevo.
  25. ^ Temperatures like 43.2C reported from Mao on 31 August 1954 and 42.8C reported from Duverge on 19 August 1965 were recorded under not proper exposure conditions. 42.0C reported from Yasica in September 1987 is also unreliable.
  26. ^ Lower temperatures recorded at Roseau are believed to be unreliable. 13.9C was also recorded at Brandtridge at an elevation of 550m in March 1972, but data encompasses only a couple of years.
  27. ^ Old temperatures as high as 37.2C at the Roseau Botanic Gardens were affected by overexpsure conditions.
  28. ^ a b Servicio Nacional de Estudios Territoriales (SNET).This temperature was recorded in the camping below the El Pital Peak in a not inhabited zone.-9.2C claimed at the same location is dubious and unconfirmed. Los Naranjos, Sonsonate department has recorded -4C in 1956,1959,1968 and 1970.
  29. ^ Temperatures as high as 45.0C at La Hachadura in May 1979 are believed to be unreliable. These temperatures in late 50s at San Miguel might also be affected by overexposure. 44.0C was recorded in the same station in May 1998.
  30. ^ http://amrc.ssec.wisc.edu/awsrecords.html. This station is located on the uninhabited plateau at high altitude on the ice cap. The lowest temperature recorded at an inhabited place is -47.2°C at Kangerlussuaq (Søndre Strømfjord) on 4 January 1983.
  31. ^ Many references give the Greenland record at Ivigtut on June 23th,1915. Nevertheless, neither the station historical record nor its daily/hourly temperatures on those days in June 1915 supports this reading.
  32. ^ http://browse.ceda.ac.uk/browse/badc/corral/images/metobs/carrib/Grenada/Grenada1946-51/Capture_00039.JPG. Lower temperatures recorded at the Grand Etang and on the Richmond Hill are mostly unreliable. 16.0C was also recorded at Mirabeau in January and December 1984 but this station has a short period of record and its validity is dubious.
  33. ^ This temperature is slightly dubious,but indeed possibly reliable.

Mayaguez City maximum temperatures in October 1996 are unreliable.
